Completely agree with the previous posters here. Worth noting that to safely view the sun with human eyes it requires reflecting 99.999% of sunlight, whereas it is around 99.99% for cameras. If you let more energy than that to the camera you risk wrecking your camera sensor, or your eyesight if you look through it.

Yes, I’ve used them and can say they are certainly worth the money - a step up compared to other plossls and worth investment as if treated with care will last you a long time. The two downsides to plossls are less eye relief (they aren’t uncomfortable, but usually don’t give enough for wearing glasses) and a smaller field of view - for that in the TeleVue range you’d be looking at much more expensive eyepieces. If you can, I’d suggest seeing if you can find some second hand, if you don’t like them then sell on, and if you do you’ve saved the extra cost of getting new.

I'm sure I've got one or two of your ex eyepieces. I've also got a few of your scopes too .

Most of my astro equipment has been stored elsewhere for the past few months whilst building work has been going on and stargazing has been patchy at best (due to work/bad weather combination). I'm sure that will change when everything is moved back . It's not a course of treatment I'd recommend for anyone.

I'm cured of my eyepiece buying impulses. At least for now .

Famous last words... .

Used the forecast yesterday for deciding whether or not to wear a waterproof coat - got both there and back without getting wet - as forecast . Serves as a good day time forecast as well as a night one .

For Southern UK astronomers, yes. For Northern astronomers.... we'll have to wait until the end of July / mid August.

Looks great as part of my signature .

Are you planning on doing an auto cut-off for the forecast based on time - in a similar way to how it's done on the BBC website? (i.e. If it's 1pm, only the forecast for 1pm and later will be shown)
